The Bombay High Court asks Lalit Modi to appear before the BCCI panel.

The Bombay High Court on Thursday dismissed suspended IPL commissioner Lalit Modi's petition against the BCCI and asked him to appear before the board's disciplinary committee.

The court said it was not proper to interfere at this stage into the disciplinary committee's process. It said the issue of fairness of the probe should be left to members of the three-member disciplinary committee.

Modi had gone to court challenging the setting up of the committee and asked for an independent and mutually agreed upon inquiry panel. But he will now have to present himself before the committee on Friday.

Before moving the high court, Modi had sent a legal notice to the BCCI, seeking to disband the disciplinary committee. He sought the appointment of retired judges of the Supreme Court as members of the panel.
